Start the merge from Outlook. There you can sort Contacts by Category, then
perform the merge to the selected Contacts.

My wife needs to print X-Mas mailing labels. She has assigned the proper
Outlook contacts to the Catagory 'Christmas'. When I do the Word mail
merge,
there is no sort column for Catagories. You can sort by Name, Zip Code,
and
even User Field 1, but there is not Catagory column.

I can create perfect labels - no issues - but I cannot sort by Catagory.

I am using Outlook 2003 and Word 2002 SP3.

Thank you very much.
